After Hong Kong artist Paul Che appeared on a mainland variety show in 2022, it only took him three days to successfully turn his acting career from dusk to flourishing. This may be an exaggeration, but having been in the industry for more than 40 years, he does often travel north for work.
Compared to the time when I went bankrupt, had to rely on donations for my mother’s burial, and was evicted by the landlord for rent arrears, I have been working as a disinfectant for two years with self-heating meals, which is indeed a lot better.
【Rui's reputation started with Li's】
Why did Paul Che fall to this point? It all started when he first entered the TV industry in Lili.
Paul Che made a lot of mistakes back then, so in the end no one dared to work with him anymore.
He said: "Actually, there are causes and consequences. Why is this happening? Being late, missing, absent, I have committed all the taboos in the entertainment industry."
"I was young at that time and did not have such a powerful phone system. Now we have a diary on our phone, so you can write down your plans, but at that time we didn’t. I like to write them down on paper. It just so happened that the paper disappeared that day. You felt like something was going on, but what was it? What’s the matter? No! I’ve already made this mistake since Yuli, so if you spread the word, who else will come to you? ”
【I was kicked out by the landlord for many months of rent arrears】
In the end, he was evicted by the owner because he had no money.
"No one asked me to do work at first, so how much goods can you have in your warehouse? It must be very tight. I can't pay the first rent, so I told the owner how much I owe first. I may be able to pay it next month. "What about you?"
He pointed out that although he passed the landlord's test, he still had to pay the electricity and water bills. When the water bills were paid, the electricity was stopped due to arrears, so he had to borrow money from friends to turn on the electricity.
Che Paul continued: "As for the landlord, you owe me three months. I said yes, if you give me a few more months, then he will think you are a bit like a rent bully, and he will start punishing you every night until you are accommodating." Let's go. "
" He took an electric drill without a drill bit, put the electric drill in a square box, and then found an iron box to cover it. Suddenly something was drilling on it while you were sleeping. How can you sleep on your ceiling? I torture you like this every night.” In the end, Paul Che finally wanted to move out of this place.
[TVB offered 2,000 yuan to renew the contract, why not return to Yuen Long?]
After leaving Li's, Paul Che actually had a job in the film industry, but of course not many.
Until 1997, Paul Che joined Wireless and began to stabilize. However, he only worked for six years before leaving, all because of a contract.
"Anyone who leaves TVB will do so because the contract is over and they will ask you to go back. As soon as you go back, the human resources department will take the computer and I don’t know what else, and they will escort you to your locker like a judge. There, clean up the lockers! I understand, that’s what I need.”
“Don’t be so angry, maybe you’re interested in an appointment?” Why do you still have an appointment? "This is tailor-made for us. It's only two thousand yuan a year." I heard that it's already two thousand yuan a year. Forget it, you don't have to think about anything else. , I don’t even think about it, I said, how can I live? It’s better to go back to Yuen Long and be better off, right?” 】
After leaving TVB, Paul Cha had only a few jobs in the entertainment industry. He then moved to the insurance industry, which also paved the way for his bankruptcy.
"Bankruptcy... bankruptcy is so helpless. I have worked in many industries. I went bankrupt when I was doing insurance. I ended up going to New York Life Insurance Company. Now this insurance company is gone because I spent too much money. If you can’t pay it back, you can’t do anything, and you can only break it in the end!”
went bankrupt in the insurance business, all because Che Paul used a wrong concept.
"Because I'm used to selling insurance, I invited guests to karaoke, and it was basically ok. After the discussion, we continued tonight. I got used to playing this game, and it became unconscious, even if I didn't know it, It doesn’t matter if I succeed! Just swipe the card, Lidelia, it can scare people to death, and I finally had no choice. At that time, Lidelia owed more than 300,000 yuan in credit card debt.
[My mother was buried with the help of TVB kindhearted people]
It was during the period of bankruptcy. His mother passed away suddenly. Paul Che was penniless, and even the money to bury his mother was quite a headache.
"Fortunately, I have an old friend, Sir Zeng, who is the public relations director of TVB. We have known each other for more than ten or twenty years, and he has helped me a lot. He said that there was an anonymous person in TVB who donated tens of thousands of yuan. , you go take care of your mother."
"He also sent the money to me in Yuen Long. I felt so sorry and sad. I said, Sir Zeng, I owe you, but I can't pay it back today, but he said to you. Whatever you need me to do, I will be there as soon as possible. Because I have received the Thousand Years of Cause and Effect, it would be rude for me to leave without my ability. "
As for who the anonymous person will be?
Che Paul said: "Don't care whether it is true or not, does TVB have an anonymous person? Someone joked to me, could it be Miss Fang? Yes, my mother once told me that she played cards with Miss Fang Hey, maybe. But it doesn’t really matter anymore! ”
[Working as a disinfectant in Huangba for two years of self-heating meals]
In the next ten years or so, Paul Che worked many jobs, including as a site handyman, Philanthropy handyman and so on, but the one that impressed everyone the most was probably the cabin disinfectant, which even made it into the entertainment news that year.
"I went to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to help, and then went to the Lok Ma Chau border. Where is the border? The place I will never go to again in my life is called Sha Tau Kok, Chung Ying Street. I stayed there for a week. Why? ? Because everyone there has been recruited, and no one dares to go there. The boss promised that if you help me for a week, I will give you a better position after a week, yes! I ended up doing it at Zhongying Street. We were transferred to the Hung Shui Qiao shelter, and everyone knew that disinfectants were the most dangerous.”
’s family was at the peak of the epidemic, and he was really worried that he would bring the virus home, but Paul Che had his own unique way of saving his life. tricks.
"In Lok Ma Chau, the Huangbao bus goes from the mainland to Hong Kong. You have to complete all the inspections before you can get on the Huangbao. I hid in the Huangbao. If I had nothing to do, I would go and sit alone, even if I wanted to eat. Okay, so I have been eating self-heating rice for more than 2 years. If there is rice, pour it in. If there is meat, pour it in. Then pour some cold water underneath, put the heating bag in, and it goes 'bang bang bang bang bang', and then I I just had fresh rice to eat. After eating it for 2 years and 3 months, it started to look like self-heating rice!”
[Accidentally became popular after participating in a mainland variety show recording]
In the end, of course, I have to talk about "Infinite Transcendence Class", The short three-day filming revived Paul Cha's acting career. He was most grateful to Wu Tong who asked him to participate in the filming.
"Thank you very much, Producer Wu Tong. If he didn't give me this opportunity, today, I think I would still be in the makeshift hospital, doing ordinary things. Because of the effect of that visit, everyone feels that Che Paul is OK, he can do things, and then he starts to have work! "
[The two protagonists do not succeed in picking up the leaks]
Of course, it must be the right time, the right place, and the right people when you come to the mainland. Due to isolation, it was difficult for the program team to find people, but Paul Che successfully seized the opportunity.
"Because Xiaochun didn't go, and the emperor (Ma Junwei) didn't go. You have to be quarantined when you go, and you have to be quarantined when you come back. So the two of them didn't go. The producer asked who else? Fat Tou Tuo, who is Fat? Toutuo? I don’t know him. He immediately edited the film and showed it to the producer. This is Paul Che. Then I rehearsed a scene with the four aunts. It was fun and I learned something. "
Abdominal pain decided to find a maid to become his wife】
In addition to the help of friends, Paul Che has another indispensable person in these more than ten years, which is his current wife.
said that the reason why he suddenly wanted to get married again was because of a stomachache.
"One night, I was alone at home and suddenly had diarrhea. In the house I lived in at that time, the toilet was not inside the room, but outside. It was like this in the village houses in Yuen Long before. Well! I went in to relieve myself. There was no toilet. Paper, I'm sweating all of a sudden. I can't get out without toilet paper. If I can't get out, I can't get medicine. It would be great if there is a woman here now. I have everything I want. This concept, I want to find a wife, I finally found her, you are right! "
If you want to find a wife to spend the rest of your life, you have many choices, but Paul Che chose a maid who only comes to clean his house once a week. Because he has a certain character in her.
"She was my part-time maid. She came every Sunday to help me clean up the house! At that time, I was working in mainland China, at the Shangri-La Hotel, Shenzhen, which had just opened that year. All the money I got back Put it on the counter, not put away. Every time she comes, she tells me to keep the money and put it away properly. I think this woman is good. At least the money will not disappear. In short, it will only get thicker.”
